Hodor is a ruby-based framework, API and Command Line Interface that automates and simplifies the way you specify, deploy, debug and administer Hadoop and Oozie solutions. Hadoop lacks a mature toolchain to manage a codebase with modern software development discipline. To address this need, Hodor comprises a combination of tools and conventions that enable in the Hadoop environment many of the modern software development practices, and deployment facilities we take for granted in normal software development.
